The real path returned will be in a form appropriate to the computer and operating system on which the portlet container is running, including the proper path separators. This method returns null if the portlet container cannot translate the virtual path to a real path for any reason (such as when the content is being made available from a .war archive).

Specified by:
getRealPath in interface PortletContext
Parameters:
path - a String specifying a virtual path
Returns:
a String specifying the real path, or null if the transformation cannot be performed.

getResourcePaths

public java.util.Set getResourcePaths(java.lang.String path)
Description copied from interface: PortletContext
Returns a directory-like listing of all the paths to resources within the web application longest sub-path of which matches the supplied path argument. Paths indicating subdirectory paths end with a slash (/). The returned paths are all relative to the root of the web application and have a leading slash. For example, for a web application containing

/welcome.html
/catalog/index.html
/catalog/products.html
/catalog/offers/books.html
/catalog/offers/music.html
/customer/login.jsp
/WEB-INF/web.xml
/WEB-INF/classes/com.acme.OrderPortlet.class,

getResourcePaths("/") returns {"/welcome.html", "/catalog/", "/customer/", "/WEB-INF/"}
getResourcePaths("/catalog/") returns {"/catalog/index.html", "/catalog/products.html", "/catalog/offers/"}.

Specified by:
getResourcePaths in interface PortletContext
Parameters:
path - the partial path used to match the resources, which must start with a slash
Returns:
a Set containing the directory listing, or null if there are no resources in the web application of which the path begins with the supplied path.

getResource

public java.net.URL getResource(java.lang.String path)
                         throws java.net.MalformedURLException
Description copied from interface: PortletContext
Returns a URL to the resource that is mapped to a specified path. The path must begin with a slash (/) and is interpreted as relative to the current context root.

This method allows the portlet container to make a resource available to portlets from any source. Resources can be located on a local or remote file system, in a database, or in a .war file.

The portlet container must implement the URL handlers and URLConnection objects that are necessary to access the resource.

This method returns null if no resource is mapped to the pathname.

Some containers may allow writing to the URL returned by this method using the methods of the URL class.

The resource content is returned directly, so be aware that requesting a .jsp page returns the JSP source code. Use a RequestDispatcher instead to include results of an execution.

This method has a different purpose than java.lang.Class.getResource, which looks up resources based on a class loader. This method does not use class loaders.

Specified by:
getResource in interface PortletContext
Parameters:
path - a String specifying the path to the resource
Returns:
the resource located at the named path, or null if there is no resource at that path
Throws:
java.net.MalformedURLException - if the pathname is not given in the correct form

getAttribute

public java.lang.Object getAttribute(java.lang.String name)
Description copied from interface: PortletContext
Returns the portlet container attribute with the given name, or null if there is no attribute by that name. An attribute allows a portlet container to give the portlet additional information not already provided by this interface. A list of supported attributes can be retrieved using getAttributeNames.

The attribute is returned as a java.lang.Object or some subclass. Attribute names should follow the same convention as package names. The Java Portlet API specification reserves names matching java.*, javax.*, and sun.*.

Specified by:
getAttribute in interface PortletContext
Parameters:
name - a String specifying the name of the attribute
Returns:
an Object containing the value of the attribute, or null if no attribute exists matching the given name
See Also:
PortletContext.getAttributeNames()

getAttributeNames

public java.util.Enumeration getAttributeNames()
Description copied from interface: PortletContext
Returns an Enumeration containing the attribute names available within this portlet context, or an empty Enumeration if no attributes are available. Use the PortletContext.getAttribute(java.lang.String) method with an attribute name to get the value of an attribute.

Specified by:
getAttributeNames in interface PortletContext
Returns:
an Enumeration of attribute names
See Also:
PortletContext.getAttribute(java.lang.String)

getInitParameter

public java.lang.String getInitParameter(java.lang.String name)
Description copied from interface: PortletContext

Specified by:
getInitParameter in interface PortletContext
Parameters:
name - a String containing the name of the requested parameter
Returns:
a String containing the value of the initialization parameter, or null if the parameter does not exist.
See Also:
PortletContext.getInitParameterNames()

getInitParameterNames

public java.util.Enumeration getInitParameterNames()
Description copied from interface: PortletContext
Returns the names of the context initialization parameters as an Enumeration of String objects, or an empty Enumeration if the context has no initialization parameters.

Specified by:
getInitParameterNames in interface PortletContext
Returns:
an Enumeration of String objects containing the names of the context initialization parameters
See Also:
PortletContext.getInitParameter(java.lang.String)

log

public void log(java.lang.String msg)
Description copied from interface: PortletContext
Writes the specified message to a portlet log file, usually an event log. The name and type of the portlet log file is specific to the portlet container.

This method mapps to the ServletContext.log method. The portlet container may in addition log this message in a portlet container specific log file.

Specified by:
log in interface PortletContext
Parameters:
msg - a String specifying the message to be written to the log file

log

public void log(java.lang.String message,
                java.lang.Throwable throwable)
Description copied from interface: PortletContext
Writes an explanatory message and a stack trace for a given Throwable exception to the portlet log file. The name and type of the portlet log file is specific to the portlet container, usually an event log.

This method is mapped to the ServletContext.log method. The portlet container may in addition log this message in a portlet container specific log file.

Specified by:
log in interface PortletContext
Parameters:
message - a String that describes the error or exception
throwable - the Throwable error or exception

removeAttribute

public void removeAttribute(java.lang.String name)
Description copied from interface: PortletContext
Removes the attribute with the given name from the portlet context. After removal, subsequent calls to PortletContext.getAttribute(java.lang.String) to retrieve the attribute's value will return null.

Specified by:
removeAttribute in interface PortletContext
Parameters:
name - a String specifying the name of the attribute to be removed

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(java.lang.String name,
                         java.lang.Object object)
Description copied from interface: PortletContext
Binds an object to a given attribute name in this portlet context. If the name specified is already used for an attribute, this method removes the old attribute and binds the name to the new attribute.

If a null value is passed, the effect is the same as calling removeAttribute().

Attribute names should follow the same convention as package names. The Java Portlet API specification reserves names matching java.*, javax.*, and sun.*.

Specified by:
setAttribute in interface PortletContext
Parameters:
name - a String specifying the name of the attribute
object - an Object representing the attribute to be bound

getPortletContextName

public java.lang.String getPortletContextName()
Description copied from interface: PortletContext
Returns the name of this portlet application correponding to this PortletContext as specified in the web.xml deployment descriptor for this web application by the display-name element.

Specified by:
getPortletContextName in interface PortletContext
Returns:
The name of the web application or null if no name has been declared in the deployment descriptor.

getServletContext

public javax.servlet.ServletContext getServletContext()
Specified by:
getServletContext in interface InternalPortletContext
Returns:
servlet context within which we belong

getPortletApplicationDefinition

public PortletAppDD getPortletApplicationDefinition()
Specified by:
getPortletApplicationDefinition in interface InternalPortletContext
Returns:
application config

getApplicationRuntimeOptions

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String[]> getApplicationRuntimeOptions()

getPortletRuntimeOptions

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String[]> getPortletRuntimeOptions()

getContainerRuntimeOptions

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String[]> getContainerRuntimeOptions()
Description copied from interface: PortletContext
Returns the container container runtime options and values supported by this portlet container.

The portlet can set container runtime options in the portlet.xml via the container-runtime-option element with a name and a value on the application and portlet level.
If a container runtime option is set on the portlet application level and on the portlet level with the same name the setting on the portlet level takes precedence and overwrites the one set on the portal application level.

The map returned from this method will provide the subset the portlet container supports of the options the portlet has specified in the portlet.xml.

The map will contain name of the runtime option as key of type String and the runtime options as values of type String array (String[]).

Specified by:
getContainerRuntimeOptions in interface PortletContext
Returns:
an immutable Map containing portlet container runtime options names as keys and the container runtime values as map values, or an empty Map if no portlet container runtime options are set in the portlet.xml or supported by this portlet container. The keys in the map are of type String. The values in the map are of type String array (String[]).
